Xperia Z3 Compact Phone do not display recovery/bootloader console

Question

I was trying to root my device (Xperia Z3 Compact) as instructed here:

DooMLoRD's CWM-Based Recovery Console

Somewhere in between, a mistake was made and being the novice that I am, I can't seem to undo it. I also have no idea what happened, but if what I understood online is right, I screwed up the bootloader which made the recovery console unavailable.

Here is screenshot on Emma:

Here are the steps I made on the console:

Also, the phone makes some sort of nice sound, not a beep, although I can't identify it and the screen is always black.

I would pretty much appreciate all the help, with the things I've done, I've pretty much voided the warranty (I think) so I hope you guys can help me out.

Answer 1

We advise users to check supported devices at Developer World.

The D5833 is now added as a supported device, and I hope it will appear as an available service next time you connect your Z3 compact.

Answer 2

Indeed, by rooting device you've lost warranty.

I've faced with fact it's not to easy run Recovery Console while booting device. Sometimes I had to push to volume control buttons very long and fast for achieving result.

Please check is device seen by fastboot now.

I believe if bootloader is really broken you have to take your device to the service. Guys from service should be able to recover it by JTAG.

Answer 3

It seems that you've already flashed a custom kernel.

Key sequence for entering recovery program may change depending on the kernel being flashed. So for my Xperia P I've had to press the power button repeatedly until I get into CWM recovery.

To switch into fastboot : press and hold the volume Up button, and plug in the USB cable; the notification LED will light up Blue

flash mode: press and hold the volume Down button, and plug in the USB cable
